In the coming years, NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) will send two robotic missions to explore Jupiter’s icy moon Europa. One of the many challenges for these missions is how to mine through the thick icy crusts and obtain samples from the interior ocean for analysis. A possible solution is to use a special reactor that relies on fission and fusion reactions.See https://www.universetoday.com/159634/a-hybrid-fission-fusion-reactor-could-be-the-best-way-to-get-through-the-ice-on-europa/
Worldwide, 12 million hectares of land valuable to agriculture are lost every year, and global agriculture production will need to increase by 70%to meet the demand of an expanding population. It’s no surprise that we are seeing steady growth, investment and, most importantly, innovation in the agtech market, including the space industry.See https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2023/01/space-agtech-farming-agriculture-davos-2023/
